What happens when OpenAI’s burn dries up their cash?
RAM prices go down. My hope though is that the period RAM prices stay up will put electron apps out of market.

#32I'd expect OpenAi to make some type of Github clone next, perhaps with Astral, or maybe with jujutsu.

#33Woah, first Anthropic buys Bun, now OpenAI Astral? Seems like the big AI players love buying up the good dev tooling companies. I hope this means the Astral folks can keep doing what they are doing, because I absolutely love uv (ruff is pretty nice too).

Would be a good mustache-twirling cartoon villain tactics, you know, try to prevent advances in developer experience to make vibecoding more attractive =)

#34Greed knows no limit
OpenAI is Microslop, so it's the classic EEE, nothing new to see
It's like with systemd now planning to enforce gov. age verification
People will censor you if you dare say something negative on this website
So i guess, wears a clown hat "congrats!"

#35great for astral, sucks for uv. was nice to have sane tooling at least for a few years, thanks for the gift.

#36This is a serious risk for the open source ecosystem and particularly the scientific ecosystem that over the last years has adopted many of these technologies. Having their future depend on a cap-ex heavy company that is currently (based on reporting) spending approx. 2.5 dollars to make a dollar of revenue and must have hypergrowth in the next years or perish is less than ideal. This should discourage anybody doing…
On the flip side, I'm not sure I ever saw a revenue plan or exit strategy for Astral other than acquihire. And most plausible bidders are unfortunate in one way or another.

They get more money from investors, go public, or get bought.

#39I hope OpenAI realizes they cannot buy developer goodwill.
They are not trying to buy developer goodwill, they are trying to catch up with Antrophic in terms of getting those B2B contracts, which is currently the most realistic path towards not running out of money.
